Hello everybody,
i just picked up a copy of law dogs and after
looking trou the new rules for gunfigths and weponlist i got a bit
confused.
some time ago i read somewhere (dont remember
where) that in the revised edition (i only own the first ed) the speed of the
weapons where deletet and that SA guns and rifles now shoot once whit an action
while DA guns can shoot twiche. As far as i understood that would mean that you
no longer need to coock your SA guns.
But now in the rules of law dogs they clarify the
quick draw aptitude and there is also meantioned the Tn to draw and coock your
gun. so you still have to coock them? Then a bit later is meantionad that one of
the new triggers avoids the -1 penalty of DA guns. what is that penalty about? i
assume that DA triggers work a bit harder then SA ones so it makes your aim a
bit unsteady.
And in the weapontables SA guns are listet whit ROF
of 1 while DA ones have one of 2. So it was correct what i read about the SA and
DA guns in the revised edition, just that you ALSO have to coock the
SA?
if i understand everything correct that would mean
that
SA need to be coocked and then can fire one time or
when fireing from the hip and taking -1 (or 2 dont remember exactly) to
hit
DA dont need to be coocked and can fire twice whit
one action
so that would mean
SA 1 shot in 2 actions w/o penalty or 2 shots in 2
actions firing from hip
and
DA 4!! shots in 2 actions @ -1 for using a DA
gun?
did i miss something or are DA really 4 times
faster then SA?
thanks for any help in advance
Patrick
